The Sacred and the Dead: The Trouble with Sugar Magnolia

By Kaya Oakes

…and the “mamas” and “old ladies” minding the camp stove while 60-something-year-old Deadhead guys hit on my teenage friends by offering them tickets to shows. Deadheads were anathema to my chosen subculture of socially conscious punks. East Bay punks were aggro and in your face about social justice, feminism, human rights; Deadheads, in our eyes, were too stoned and obsessed with their god Jerry to care. Sometimes, I’d be out in Berkeley at night…

#OpenTheseDoors: A Movement to Turn New York’s Closed Churches into Shelters

By Kaya Oakes

…that the closed parishes should be repurposed into housing for poor and low-to-moderate income New Yorkers. She explains her work as a “raw daily encounter with the housing crisis.” In response to Dolan’s decision to shutter some parishes that could not fight to stay open, Gargamelli responds that “we’re saying as Catholics that they should be converted to permanent affordable housing, or if they don’t have the resources for that, they should give…

What We Need to Understand is that Fascism is Intersectional and Erotic—’Thy Rod is Thy Gun,’ With a Hip-Thrust

By Annika Brockschmidt

…racks with my experience of reading evangelical marriage advice and dating books for research purposes. They’re full of sex, and for those who aren’t familiar with the culture, it’s surprisingly explicitly sexual. But then—is it really surprising? Isn’t sex inherently part of the human experience? Why should that be any different for evangelicals, why should that be any different for the fascists you met on your travels? I think this is the failur…

From Murderous to ‘MORG’: Mormonism Meets the Press

By Joanna Brooks

…story? This is the rugged interior landscape of faith—scholars call it “interiority.” Regular people call it “soul.” I know that Mormonism has soul, and I’m quite certain Mitt Romney does too. But if Romney really is just a by-the-book decision maker who always finds himself in perfect harmony with the priorities of large corporations—religious or financial—voters should probably know that as well. Perhaps this is the place for serious journalist…

When Religious Freedom Means Freedom for Religious Violence

By Frederick Clarkson

…ies in the Lake of Fire before pastor Greg Locke ever shuts down his local New Testament church because a demon-possessed buckwild tyrannical government told him to!” “Yes! Blow them shofars! This means war! This is our battle cry! Church! Stop being asleep!” He denounced as “Jezebel churches” those that had closed to the public because of Covid. He’s referring to the biblical figure of Jezebel, a Queen of ancient Israel whose story does not end w…

Protocols of the Elders of Mecca: Hints of Anti-Semitic Playbook in Glenn Beck’s Islamophobia

By Haroon Moghul

…attorney Haroon: Hi. I’m calling to see if you’ll be carrying Glenn Beck’s new book, It IS About Islam. It’s being released tomorrow. Strand Bookstore: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (Embarrassed gasp for air.) Hold please. (Sounds of clicking; customers nearby.) It seems we have a copy. It IS About Islam: Exposing the Truth About ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran, and the Caliphate Glenn Beck Threshold Editions (August 18, 2015) Haroon: Already? The website says…

God is a Terrifying Monster, and Other Takeaways from the Study of Vampires in Pop Culture

By Jess Peacock

…the conclusion of the New Testament, Christianity and the monstrous go hand-in-hand. Some might even argue that God represents the most terrifying monster of all, as the narrative of the flood and the plagues of Egypt (where Yahweh is referred to as the Destroyer) paint a frightening picture of an ancient deity. Judeo-Christian narratives and the horror genre are entangled chronicles of the unknown, of what lies beyond human understanding. As such…

South Asian Religious Leaders Challenged to Take on Stigma and Discrimination: Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…person dressed in monk’s robes has been distributing anti-gay leaflets door-to-door this year in Leicester, Cambridge, and Brighton. The flyer, titled “Homosexualism: A few points,” asserts that homosexuality is “not natural” and is a result of temptation by the Devil. “Homosexualism has become a cult, and by the indoctrination of school children and regular propaganda through the media, it seeks converts. “If the practice of homosexuality is acce…

Run Hajar Run

By Amina Wadud

…issfully unaware of these new arrangements and still demanding his regular feedings. Hajar panics, and there is the test of her faith. She starts running back and forth; I hope it was purposefully, but at some point she got carried away in the frantic search for water. Seven times she made it back and forth between two foothills, Safa and Marwa. (Remember I said, the total distance is about 3 ½ miles. So she must have been pretty fit, or pretty fr…

A Secret History of Satan

By W. Scott Poole

…ok almost twice as long. My publisher felt, obviously, that a three-hundred-page book would be much more accessible than the almost six hundred pages I envisioned. This means I didn’t get to spend as much time on Satan in American literature as I had hoped (though there are long sections on important figures like Hawthorne and Twain). I think that I probably would have also, in a longer book, spent even more time on folklore, especially urban lege…
